The game is set in the same world as Pillars of Eternity and is expected to be a first-person RPG similar to the Elder Scrolls games.
The Outer Worlds 2	The Outer Worlds 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the hugely popular 2019 action RPG. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the sequel is expected to expand on the original game’s formula by improving on all its core gameplay mechanics such as story, combat, and RPG systems.
